2019 APPAM Fall Research Conference
Rising to the Challenge: Engaging Diverse Perspectives on Issues and Evidence
November 7 - 9, 2019
Denver, CO


The 2019 APPAM Fall Research Conference will celebrate APPAM's 41st conference on November 7-9 at the Denver Sheraton in Denver, Colorado. This year's event will focus on celebrating differences among all viewpoints and how we can work together to improve the public policy field.


The current political context underscores the value of bringing together researchers and practitioners with a wide range of perspectives to engage the evidence and discuss how best to improve public policy. It is our hope that the conference theme, Rising to the Challenge: Engaging Diverse Perspectives on Issues and Evidence, will encourage a conference with conversations that reach across disciplinary, methodological and ideological divides.


We’re now accepting submissions for this year’s Innovation Lounge sessions! These sessions will be held in an easy-to-access room near registration and exhibits where experienced researchers are invited to meet and share cutting-edge research with conference attendees. To have your research included in the Innovation Lounge programming, we invite you to submit a brief proposal, explaining your work, what you hope to achieve in your research, and how it will impact the policy community.


Innovation Lounge Sessions will be 45-minutes in length and will be scheduled throughout the duration of the full three-day conference. Please note that the programming featured in the Innovation Lounge will be discussion based. Papers should not be presented formally and no presentation technology will be available. The aim of these sessions is to have a broad discussion on an emerging or not yet fully formed idea or concept in the research field. Submitters of the proposal should prepare to the lead the discussion around the proposed topic and are welcome to include other presenters to share their ideas as well.


Sessions will be open to everyone at the conference and we will encourage attendees to drop in and join the conversation, if the topic is of interest to them. We anticipate each session being relatively small but having many of them over of the course of the conference, allowing attendees to connect/network over new and emerging research concepts and ideas. This is great opportunity to get some feedback on a new idea, get a sense of whether there are others working on a concept you have been considering and to make connections with others in the field that might be useful in the future.


Each submission should include a brief description of the innovative research and why it is cutting edge, the intended policy impact of the research, three or four individuals who will attend or aid in the presentation, and any other additional details you'd like to share about the work. To be considered for inclusion at the conference, all submissions must be received no later than 11:59 pm EST on September 27, 2019.
